mad for brads most inspiring pices of music ...ever

just for shits and giggeles i would very much like to hear mfb most favord pices of music right now and see if im missing out on anything production related or otherwise.

as the bar set by mfb seems so high im wondering what it is that defines his tates above all others.... im waiting

be a a little more specific. You are basically asking my favourite tune and that isn't something I can answer. And although I think my taste is rather impeccable, there are lots here that don't see eye to eye so I honestly don't know what the point is. People will like what they like and no amount of convincing will change that.

Are you specifically talking production ? Harmony ? performance ? ......

ok give me 1 good symphony 1 good movement and one good chamber piece.

define good.

the problem is that you probably define good by the hook and all the levels of abstraction, key relations and overall form is lost on you. I"m not being condescending , I just don't really understand your intentions. If your looking for psuedo classical with hooks, download hanz zimmer.


anyways, here are some hits

finlandia

Beethoven C# minor string quartet

WAGNER - Tanhauzer overture

and some low brow film music - Goonies . Not sure what happened to Grusin

There are people here who are trying to make that our national anthem. I can only hope they succeed.

would definitely take the cake for Anthems. Even better than the Russian one although that depends on wether they have the all men choir. Although if they changed it with the hunt for red October theme and changed a bit of the arrangement, that would be bad ass. basically the women singing, scrap that,

Hunt for Red October

tut tut tut you're side steping dude im looking for some educational music you consider above all others.

*side note* hooks,key changes and the above most people will like it's easy on the ears and makes for no real concentraion for the listiners cue hanns zimmer.


so something deep,organic and complex must be the only things that hold any merit/ceditability right?

I'm just scared that these wonders would just translate in chinese. It takes a bit of understanding to get why the music was so great. You won't really enjoy a symphony for all it is worth unless you have an undergrad in music. I mean if you can't even parse the chords being played , how do you expect to uncover the motives and key structure. You will just hear a bunch of music that sounds ok but makes no sense to you.

why are you trying to corner me into saying something I don't feel comfortable saying. I like classical music as it is extremely complex and there are so many levels to it. You can study just on piece for a year just to really get everything you can from it.

It won't educate you if you don't know what to listen for. LIstening to complex music is like reading a masters level math book when you haven't passed your grade 12 math.

I don't understand what this thread is trying to accomplish. M4B may be very vocal and perhaps overly opinionated about his preferences and dislikes, but his opinion is not gospel, nor is anyone else's for that matter. It's your own prerogative to agree or disagree with him, but this thread seems to be implicitly asking him to at least defend or justify his opinions and tastes in music, if not essentially asking him to "prove" to us that they are valid.

What's the point?

i think you have to remember dude music does'nt have to be complex to be good.

the hits you posted where all good and as i suspected all were well Orchestrated and were all ment to meen something (organic).

im not boxing you into any corner here its just i see no reason for something that was or is technally well made to be any better or wosre then something you my enjoy hearing

im not hating on him i could just reply to any of his posts with the same opinions as him i'm just curious as to what makes his Elitism on music

i'm not elitist. I listen to every style of music. II'm not sure what your agenda is. I will stand by my point that if you really want to enjoy classical music, you need to do a little leg work. I suppose it is like reading Shakespeare as opposed to Dan Brown.

You ask me to show great classical music and I reply that all the things that make it great would go right over your head because your musical palette and vocabulary is just not developed. It is what it is.

And I have no issues stating that the classic works have quite a bit more aesthetic value. Only an idiot would argue otherwise. That doesn't mean it is all I listen to. I have a mix tape with top 100 billboard hits for cleaning.I doubt I would ever spend more than 10 minutes dissecting a pop song because there is nothing there to dissect.

You have this idea that I am some classical nerd. Yes I know classical extremely well but I was a session player for rock , jazz , metal punk country ..... There is not one type of music I can't play. I can even play latin jazz for fuck sakes.

Not putting words in his mouth, but I don't think that he is saying that it does. I think his point is simply that he has gained an appreciation for art music due to its complexity. It's also no secret that, to really appreciate art music, you have to gain an understanding of it - a much greater level of understanding than is required for appreciating pop or folk music, which is inherently rooted in simplicity. And once a person has developed that deeper understanding of music, he/she learns to appreciate all music on a different level and/or from a different perspective. That doesn't necessarily mean that they only appreciate complexity - it also means that they often have a greater appreciation of simplicity and can find a lot more meaning and context in a 3-note motif or a well-written pop song than a casual, less educated observer would likely hear.

Some people might call that elitism, but it's reality. It also has no bearing on whether or not a song is considered good or bad, which is an entirely personal and subjective matter.

His taste in EDM leaves a bit to be desired.. talks about Scott Project like he's the second coming.. lol

he is fantastic. If you don't like scot project, you have issues. Of of like 5 artists in EDM that you can actually tell it is his song without knowing the artist before hand. That is how generic EDM has become.

The problem is that everyone West of Germany just doesn't listen or get good EDM. It is rather strange. I suppose it is similar to others who just don't get it because they don't see what there is to get. It is quite frustrating.

May he actually IS Scott Project????

I don't think anyone else would keep praising him every possible chance.

Here are two of my favorite classics, I love the way Bach defines chords in a fleeting, subtle way, and his great use of strong counterpoint. Im sure everybody knows this two.






cheers, enjoy.

Agreed

The other point is that MFB confuses his education with his own critical relevance, when outside the realms of his own small fraction of existenece it is totally irrelevant.

I still think he's sweet though.

I'd say I accomplished more before the age of 11 than you have in your life time. WOuld hardly call that irrelevant. Jaded words of a old fart whose ambitions where derailed by a fat wife and unwanted younglings. IT actually bothers me that you people diminish what education and experience bring. YOu would never argue with a doctor so quit arguing with me. It pisses me off. You aren't right so just leave it be. I"ve criticized myself constantly for the last 20 years constantly feeling I suck and you know what, I no longer have any contentions regarding fact that I am actually really good at what I do. It isn't delusion, it isn't self generated, I've worked with important people and the general consensus is that I'm aces. So stop being such a bastard you limey fuck.Sure I will learn lots more but to put it curt, my grasp of music is beyond your understanding. Not that I say this often but I think on this website, it is pretty safe thing to say. It isn't bragging as I am completely aware how limited everyone on here is. I just think your all cuddly and that is why I go here.

Are you seriously comparing a science full of facts and figures with an art full of bloated opinion?

Classic

You've made my day with that

It's ok. I'm sure the extremely high toxicity in the few glasses of wine he's had over the years has totally destroyed his brain.

Sure you would, especially when they are wrong. Not all doctors are good doctors, and you can apply that to any profession.
